After three days and around 200 miles of ownership - general impressions are all good.
Performance, handling & ride are all up to expectations and general comfort & driving ergonomics fine.
I have a feeling though that the electronics & may not be 100% robust, the following glitches have cropped up:-
1. Programmed my 8 "favourite" buttons with "hold charge", radio channels and key phone numbers on Day 1. Sadly - by Day 2 they had all un-programmed themselves. After re-programming they seem stable now.
2. I've selected "auto parking assist" which is supposed too activate whenever a near object is detected at speeds under 5mph. In my car it doesn't. If I get into the car and start it - it's quite happy to let me drive forward straight into the wall without warning. if I shift into reverse however it activates and remains active even if I shift back into forward. I've also returned from a trip and swung into the garage only to notice it's not working. Basically - whenever you want to park or manoeuvre close to something you have to check the green LED on the button and press if it's not lit. I know that eventually the day will come when I pull into a parking space without checking and crunch something. Why on earth would you not want parking aids permanently active?
3. I haven't downloaded any music into the memory yet - because the car seemed happy to play tracks direct from my phone over Bluetooth. This has proved to be a bit hit & miss though. It lets me select three or four tracks from the menu - then freezes up and refuses to play any more. All attempts to select further tracks then fail - although it recognises and will replay any track it has already played. Bizarrely - if I then take the iPhone away from the car it will refuses to pay tracks other than those the car has played. After a few hours - the phone starts working normally again and I can return to the car and add a few more tracks. I can scroll through all the tracks on my phone with the steering wheel thumbwheel, but only the ones the car has already "experienced" will play - it just skips past the others. I am gradually adding to its repertoire, a few tracks at a time - but it's painfully time consuming.
Has anyone else experienced any of these glitches - or am I doing something stupid?
